@RegalRegalia Mantide for nice price or crack pipe!: Alas, we live in the present.

Release a new movie about cars and we can talk about that.

Also: I'd rather Transformers than 4 Fast, 4 Furious.

Slightly o/t, but has anyone else noticed that the new Linkin Park theme song from Transformers 2 sounds exactly the same as the old Linkin Park theme song from Transformers?

With the soundtrack as with the film, I get the impression we're being fed re-manufactured garbage by an extremely arrogant production team/studio/industry?

I don't want to be a least common denominator.

@stoke: Have you not noticed that every Linkin Park song sounds exactly the same as every other Linkin Park song?

I think the whole entertainment industry has been feeding us the re-manufactured garbage for years. They have found that as long as there is a vast amount of superfluous CG effects, people will buy anything and make them rich.

Oooh, look! Something shiny!

I am getting sick of reading Transformers crap.

On a side note, my girlfriend just admitted to me that I wasn't the first guy to take her virginity...

Nice job.

@Steve Neill: Ok, serious response:

Did she lie to you in the first place?

If yes, and it really bothers you; tell her where the door is and not to let it hit her on the way out.

If yes, but it does not change how you feel about her; get over it and stop your thinly veiled attempts to brag about your sex life on the internet.

If no; get over it and stop your thinly veiled attempts to brag about your sex life on the internet.

Transformers III - Deliverance, in which Shia Leboeuf and Megan Fox (teh hawt) travel down a Georgian back-woods river in pursuit of the International Harvester Travelallspark, while pursued by evil PWTransformers, and protected by Optimus Prime and the good trasnformers who are disguised as canoes and an ice chest full of Mickey's Wide Mouth.

Thrill to the synthesized banjo playing of Ironhide. Cringe as Barricade tells Leboeuf he has a "real purdy vocalization orifice."

Coming to a theater near you in 2011.

@pauljones: If it makes you feel any better, I thought you were trying to impose the "Wannabegangsterposingextragala..." as lyrics into the Beastie Boys "Intergalactic Planetary" song. It didn't quite fit, but at this point in the day, I was making it work.

No, it was an attempt to fit it into the "real men of genius" song.

Apparently it was just too much for Gawker, and as a result It seem to have broken the comment box on that one.

Sorry, Pete.
